Cottage Cheese Dumplings

Cottage Cheese Dumplings. Have you every tried these? For me, brings back childhood memories, so no surprise I like them. Hey, maybe I am bias :-) but in all honesty, they are very good! Soft and delicious, served warm with a dust of powder sugar and cinnamon, they'll melt in your mouth.

I think cottage cheese in under used but if you do like cottage cheese, you should give these yummies a try.

INGREDIENTS
12 oz. (360 gr.) dry cottage cheese (curd)

2 tbsp. butter

2 tbsp. icing sugar

2 eggs, slightly beaten

5-6 tbsp. cream of wheat

2-3 tbsp. all-purpose flour

Pinch of salt

Topping:
1 cup bread crumbs

2 tbsp. butter, melted

2 tbsp. icing sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

DIRECTIONS
Mix together cottage cheese, butter and eggs. Add cream of wheat, flour and salt. Take spoonfuls and roll them into balls, about the size of a small mandarin. You may want to dust your hands with flour so they don't stick.

Place them on a floured board. (If it is too dry add a bit of whipping cream. If too soft, add more flour).

In a large pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt.

Drop balls into the water and boil them until they all start floating on the top, ( about 10-12 minutes).
